Rosemont, Ill.—The Chicago Wolves earned a point for the 24th time in their last 25 home games, but the Iowa Wild claimed a 4-3 shootout victory Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Rosemont, Ill.—The Chicago Wolves earned a point for the 24th time in their last 25 home games, but the Iowa Wild claimed a 4-3 shootout victory Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Center Pat Cannone scored two goals and Alexandre Bolduc notched the other for the Wolves (40-20-5-5) while goaltender Matt Climie stopped 29 shots in regulation and overtime and rejected five of six in the shootout. Iowa's Dylan Labbe provided the shootout's only goal in the sixth round.
Chicago, which wrapped up a playoff berth Saturday night, pulled within six points of Midwest Division-leading Grand Rapids and holds two games in hand with six to play.
"We scored one goal in the first period and then went to sleep every shift after that and let them in the game," said Wolves coach John Anderson. "If we want to push on to the playoffs and play better than that, then we've got to be smarter than that."
Chicago jumped on top 18 seconds into the game as defenseman Brett Ponich sent the puck up the ice from the Wolves zone. Bolduc chased it down and fired it past Iowa goaltender Cody Reichard from the left faceoff dot.
Iowa (27-33-6-4) seized a 2-1 lead with a pair of goals in a 53-second span of the first period. Forward Tyler Graovac scored at 6:28 as he slipped free in the slot past a Wolves defenseman, accepted Marc Hagel's pass from the top of the right circle and sneaked the puck past Climie (9-9-2) from close range.
Left wing Kris Foucault made it 2-1 at 7:21 as he pounced on a loose rebound just outside the crease and squeezed it home before Climie could jam his left skate against the post.
Cannone and Michael Davies teamed up to pull the Wolves into a 2-2 tie at 7:01 of the second. After a faceoff in the Iowa zone, Davies claimed the puck, carried it behind the net and sent a nifty backhand pass to Cannone just in front of the crease. Cannone chipped the puck into the top left corner of the net for his 14th goal of the year.
Cannone added his second goal at 2:00 of the third to give the Wolves a 3-2 edge as Taylor Chorney's shot from the point deflected off Cannone in the slot and past Reichard.
Foucault answered Cannone with his second goal of the night at 8:37 to pull Iowa even and force overtime. Warren Peters flung a shot from the right point that Foucault secured in the crease and nudged past Climie with a backhand while falling to the ice.
Reichard (1-0-0) registered 42 saves in regulation and overtime and rejected all six shots he faced in the shootout to earn the win in his first AHL start of the season.
The Wolves hit the road Friday at Iowa and Saturday at Milwaukee for an Amtrak Rivalry game, but return to Allstate Arena at 3 p.m. Sunday for an Illinois Lottery Cup showdown with Rockford.

Birthing Machine | |
Type | Ressurection Device |
Inventor | Professor Farnsworth |
Usage | Birthing Or Rebirthing |
First appearance | "Rebirth" (6ACV01) |
Current status | Active |
- This article is about the ressurection machine that uses adult stem cells. For another machine capable of ressurecting people, see Reanimator.
The birthing machine is a creation of Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. It was used to rebirth the PE crew members, LaBarbara, Zapp, and Kif after the crash that occurred after they emerged through the Panama Wormhole (6ACV01). It was also used to clone a new arm for Leela and for Fry.(7ACV02) It uses adult stem cells, harvested from perfectly healthy adults whom the Professor killed. Oddly enough, the machine can also restore Robots, Decapodians and Amphibiosans.

Next fall, you might see Michelle Obama in a dress inspired by the Chinese military. It wouldn't be a stretch, considering it was the inspiration of the Fall 2012 collection of Jason Wu, a favorite of the first lady (and the one she tapped to design her dress at the Inaugural Ball in 2009.)
Since then, Wu has continued to make a name for himself—most recently designing a capsule collection for Target, which immediately flew off the shelves. But his show on Friday afternoon marked a sharp departure from the frilly dresses and floral bags that the masses have scooped up for the spring. Wu was raised in Taiwan—literally and figuratively in China's shadow. His fall collection, therefore, was a meditation on the concept of Chinese strength: models entered in a cloud of smoke through large, lacquered red doors reminiscent of the Forbidden City. There were Mao jackets, black silk embroidered with flowers, military green wool caps, high-slit black velvet gowns, and gold brocades. But the collection was as reminiscent of old Hollywood as it was of China—and, as his show notes explained, was inspired by a "1940's Hollywood version of Chinese glamour, exemplified by Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express."
Backstage, the hair and makeup reflected Wu's inspiration. Models wore slicked-back ponytails mounted high on their heads with strips of latex that looked like masking tape. "She is very strong, and she's ready to fight," Odile Gilbert, hairstylist of the show, said of the Wu woman next fall. Kate Young, who counts Michelle Williams and Natalie Portman as celebrity clients, was the stylist for the show—and visited every makeup artist backstage to flash a photo on her iPhone. "Here's a picture of the eye that Jason wants," she told each of them. "Really dark, really strong, and super graphic."
One face conspicuously missing from the sea of models was that of Karlie Kloss, the model who is currently one of the most famous girls on the runway. On Thursday, The Daily Beast reported that Kloss would not attend New York Fashion Week this year because of an "engagement that has come up," her representative said, adding that Kloss has chosen instead to walk only in Paris and Milan. Despite speculation of what could have prompted Kloss to skip the lucrative Fashion Week—some were less than fazed. "I think people don't realize that models take off a city at a time," said model Coco Rocha, who now covers Fashion Week as a correspondent for New York magazine. "It can help a career because people want you more."

The Library of Congress > American Memory |
Law Library of CongressPamela Barnes Craig* |
The Law Library of Congress contains the largest body of United States federal and state law, foreign law, international law, and comparative law and legislation in the world. The breadth and depth of the Law Library's collections are extraordinary. Federal and state laws and court decisions from the colonial period to the present shed light on U.S. history. Laws of Massachusetts that date from the late seventeenth century and Virginia Court Reports dating from the early eighteenth century are available both in printed editions, housed with the Law Library's Rare Book Collection, and in microform. Besides these primary source materials, legal treatises—for instance, Blackstone's Commentaries (see bibliography after section on Married Women's Property Laws)—form a strong component of the Law Library collections. Many early editions of common law treatises—from which numerous modern laws are derived—are among the holdings, as are legislative histories. For example, a collection of bound federal bills dating back to the 16th Congress is available for consultation. Through all these varieties of resources, the Law Library of Congress presents a wealth of legal information to support the study of women's issues. Historically, the legal rights of women have been determined by men. Some legal historians even argue that women in the United States had no "legal rights" until 1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified. Although the lives of women had been affected by laws, women themselves had played no direct role in legislating or enforcing these laws. They could not vote to elect legislators and thus had no direct leverage in the electoral process. It seems ironic that Justice, the symbol of the United States court system, is female, yet for years women were not able to participate in the judicial system except as defendants or third parties. For the most part, women did not enter the courtroom as lawyers until the late nineteenth century, and they could not serve as jurors until the twentieth century. Nevertheless, there were a number of laws from as early as the seventeenth century that specifically addressed women. Protective legislation limiting the number of hours women and children could work and court decisions addressing a woman's guilt or innocence in criminal proceedings or whether or not she could keep or devise her inherited property are examples. Despite this wealth of legal information to support the study of women in diverse academic areas, court decisions and statutory language have been underused by scholars in disciplines other than legal history. The reasons for this vary, but most law librarians will agree that the challenges of legal research and a lack of knowledge about law may discourage historians and others from doing research in this area. The vast array of materials in the Law Library can be overwhelming to the researcher, especially if the methodology of legal research is unfamiliar. Because there are few guides, indexing sources, or treatises specifically addressing women's issues, using legal resources can be challenging—but can also result in rewarding discoveries. *Authored the original chapter in American Women: A Library of Congress Guide for the Study of Women's History and Culture in the United States (Library of Congress, 2001), from which this online version is derived. Others who contributed to this effort are identified in the Acknowledgments. [Top] |

The study sets a new standard for analysing the evolution and spread of a disease-causing bacterium: it is the first study of multiple samples of any bacterial pathogen at this level of detail. It uncovers previously hidden genetic signatures of the evolution of individual lineages of Salmonella Typhi.
The team developed methods that are being used to type outbreaks, allowing researchers to identify individual organisms that are spreading in the population: using Google Earth, the outbreaks can be easily visualised. The team hope that these mapping data can be used to target vaccination campaigns more successfully with the aim of eradicating typhoid fever.
Unlike most related Salmonella species, and in contrast to many other bacteria, Typhi is found only in humans and the genomes of all isolates are superficially extremely similar, hampering attempts to track infections or to type more prevalent variants. The detail of the new study transforms the ability of researchers to tackle Typhi.
"Modern genomic methods can be used to develop answers to diseases that have plagued humans for many years," explains Professor Gordon Dougan from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and senior author on the study. "Genomes are a legacy of an organism's existence, indicating the paths it has taken and the route it is on. This analysis suggests we may have found Typhi's Achilles' heel: in adapting to an exclusively human lifestyle, it has become complacent, its genome is undergoing genetic decay and it's heading up an evolutionary dead end in humans.
"We believe that concerted vaccination programmes, combined with epidemiological studies aiming to track down and treat carriers, could be used to eradicate typhoid as a disease."
There are 17 million cases of Typhoid fever each year - although the World Health Organisation cautions that this is a 'very conservative' estimate. Young people are most at risk: in Indonesia, nine out of ten cases occur in 3-19-year-olds.
"A key to survival of Salmonella Typhi is its ability to lie dormant in carriers, who show no symptoms but remain able to infect others," says Kathryn Holt, a PhD student at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and first author on the study. "Our new tools will assist us in tracing the source of typhoid outbreaks, potentially even to infected carriers, allowing those individuals to be treated to prevent further spread of the disease.
"Using the genomic biology of this study, we can now type Typhi, identify the strain that is causing infection, identify carriers and direct vaccination programmes most efficiently. It is a remarkable step forward."
The study is a collaboration between researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, University College, Cork, Institut Pasteur in Paris and Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The team studied 19 isolates of Typhi from ten countries, using new sequencing methods that meant they could capture the rare signals of genetic variation in this stubborn genome. They produced more than 1.7 billion letters of genetic sequence and found evidence of fewer than 2000 mutation events, suggesting very little evolution since the emergence of Typhi at least 15,000 years ago.
Their analysis shows that the Typhi genome is decaying - as it becomes more closely allied to us, its human host, it is losing genes that are superfluous to life in the human body. More importantly, genes that contain instructions for the proteins on the surface of the bacterium - those most often attacked by our immune system defences - vary much less than do the equivalent genes in most other bacteria, suggesting that Typhi has a strategy to circumvent the selective pressures of our immune system.
"Both the genome and the proteins that make up the surface of Typhi - the targets for vaccines - show amazingly little variation," says Professor Julian Parkhill, Head of Pathogen Genomics. "We have been able to use novel technologies, developed for the analysis of human genome variation, to identify this variation: this would have been impossible a year ago. The technologies we have developed here could also be used in the battles against other disease-causing bacteria."

Ross Douthat created an internet uproar with his December New York Times column describing our nation's declining birthrate as a sign of "decadence." Douthat's core critique - that modernity and impermanence have eaten away the basic foundations of our social order - was generally missed in the slew of denunciations of Douthat as sexist, theocratic, and (from the most honest critics) conservative.
I hope Douthat's critics take seriously a very similar critique of modernity from the Weekly Standard's Jonathan Last, whose latest book contains this biting sentence:
[I]f you believe in anything seriously enough - God, America, the liberal order, heck, even secular humanism - then eventually babies must follow.
And it's a pity What to Expect When No One's Expecting, Last's book, was not available prior to the latest election. In fewer than 200 pages, Last surveys America's challenging demographic future and delivers an uncomfortable truth: the vibrant, dynamic and optimistic social model of 20th century America is fundamentally incompatible with modernity.
That basic idea also perfectly illuminates the core contradiction of the Republican Party. America's conservative movement - one ostensibly built around strong families, vibrant economic growth and limited government - relies on the support of a coalition of retirees. At a time when conservative reforms are needed to fix the entitlement state, the party that ought to be leading the charge relies on the votes of those least interested in sweeping change.
Last demonstrates impressive restraint in presenting a small "c" conservative outlook on what can be done to combat the ever collapsing birth rates in the United States. Having built the case for why a multitude of factors have combined to strip the basic imperatives behind child rearing, Last pulls back and recognizes the futility of assuming governmental action can restore the birth rates of the last baby boom:
[W]hat about the big cultural issues we spent so much time examining - divorce, marriage, cohabitation, contraception, women in the workforce? I'm afraid that, as a matter of policy, there's very little we can do to alter any of these stars in their courses. These are matters of enormous cultural consequence and government has never proved adept at (consciously) influencing them. On the big-ticket items, we are largely at the mercy of the culture. Our best bet, I suspect, is not to try to remake the culture with the levers of government, but to support those who want children and let them engage the culture with their lives.
That paragraph comes after a chapter explaining how even very serious efforts in states like famously baby-friendly France have failed to maintain a birthrate above replacement levels without substantial immigration. That's a depressing reality. It's also the new normal, and the GOP would be gravely unwise to pretend - to borrow Last's phrase - that we can fix these problems by pulling the "levers of government."
But we can reposition the GOP as the party seeking fairness for those who undertake the very serious and expensive task of raising our future generations.
Last's three principle domestic ideas - major social security reform, higher education reform and improving transportation networks - are relatively realistic possibilities as our nation realizes the depths of our demographic problems. Parents are unlikely to start families burdened by major student loan debt. Being unable to get children around town means parents are unlikely to raise big families. Being unable to live in affordable neighborhoods - and, perhaps more importantly, being unable to live in a single family home - shrinks family sizes. Finally, being forced to pay into entitlement programs while raising the future payers of such programs is an unfairness on the most basic level.
On a personal note, Last's fourth proposal requires immigration restrictionists such as myself to weigh the competing costs between the short-term problem of unskilled immigrants driving down wages versus the long term need for immigrants to maintain a reasonable birthrate. That's a battle we'll have to fight, but Last's book provides an imperative for understanding the problem beyond a silly "amnesty vs open borders" debate.
These are all areas of opportunity for the GOP, which must make basic appeals to working and middle class voters beyond cutting taxes and standing up for "job creators."
And while Last may disagree with my ultimate conclusion - that conservatives can best counteract the demographic problem by embracing the New Deal/Great Society/Obamacare model and working to best reform government, rather than running against it in its entirety - I'm certain he and I agree on something:
We are the inheritors of an intellectual and material wealth and tradition that far exceeds anything we could build ourselves. In the broadest sense of the term, we didn't build anything. Our ancestors built that, and we owe it to them to see their creation enjoyed by generations to come. That's the GOP message that can win in the post-Reagan era.

Novella Carpenter has to be our most famous East Bay urban farmer. No one has written as engaging, entertaining and honest tale of an enterprising young inner-city homesteader as Novella has with her 2009 memoir, Farm City.
But Novella has done more than raise pigs and rabbits in Oakland; she is also an early member of the BioFuel Oasis collective, an Berkeley worker-owned Biodiesel Station and Urban Farm Supply Store located on Sacramento at Ashby. Watch for her new book, The Essential Urban Farmer, coming out at the end of the year.
We're super excited that both Novella and BioFuel Oasis will be at East Bay Mini Maker Faire on October 16th. Novella will be doing honey extraction workshop on our new Homesteader Stage, demoing a manual honey extractor and spinning out a few gallons of honey from her home hive.
BioFuel Oasis will be there to share all their offerings, including the fuel they sell that is made locally (Mendocino County) from recycled cooking oil, and supplies for your urban homestead (e.g. organic chicken feed, beekeeping supplies, cheesemaking kits, books and tools). They also offer tools on loan—a honey extractor (same one Novella is using!) and have a tremendous lineup of great classes and workshops.
Stay tuned for the full schedule for our Homesteader Stage; we've got great demos and workshops from home coffee roasting to wildcrafting to bread making to a flat tire fix clinic and race (!). Check back here soon—but also follow our Facebook and Twitter feeds for regular updates.
